So are you ready for a huge update? Ive been hassled so many times to get this thing updated, but its literally been so busy around here that I have barely have had enough time to sleep, with the fact that school has now started and Im taking 4 theological classes, and with getting signed up for Zoe( our online schooling) for 15 more credits, so for this term not only am I taking 23 credits of classes but I'm working anywhere to 55 and more hours a week.... Talk about being busy! My week usually start out with Mondays I have off, but with living in the intern girls house, comes responsibilities of painting, cleaning and more, (Though our house parents have been really good about the fact of letting us have the day off to sleep, its really nice to sleep) Tuesdays we are in at 830am we do devotions and then its CLEANING TIME!!! it usually takes us interns about 4 hours to clean the church, we get all of our hard stuff done and then do the easy stuff after lunch. We eat lunch around 12 and then back to cleaning about 1245, then we do little projects through out the church and we are out of here at 6, then we go home and eat and watch a movie, do some homework and get ready for the next day, Wednesdays are a little bit longer, we are here at 730 in the morning and we do all the stuff that needs to be done for assignments (in my case Hope Kids and the source) I work on the assignments that my leader Whittney gives me and I have to complete those on whatever date it says. Then I also have to do all the slides for Wednesday nights (that you have seen in my early blog) Then as everyone else does the Source( youth group) I go off and babysit from 6 to 830 and then back to the church to help clean up and hang out with the interns till the last kid leaves which is usually around 10 1015 and we are usually home by 1030. ( I personally go straight to bed when I get home) Thursdays are just as long as Wednesdays, We are here at 730 and more assignments through out the day, Instead of me doing slides I cook the meal or prepare the meal for The pursuit (University Group Ages: 19-25) then University group last till about 9 and clean up at 930, Home by 10 a Clock. Fridays are not so long, we are here at 730 am and we do more assignments, ( I usually, prep the 1st-3rd class room and get the crafts ready for Sunday, making sure everything is all set up and ready to go. we stay till 6 and usually go home and eat and hang out and maybe on occasion go to the hot tub and just relax. Then Saturday another cleaning day, pretty much the same as Tuesday, Sundays we are here at 8 and we get to sit in 1 service (Unfortunately, I have not been able to sit in a service the last 3 weeks, due to some technical issues that I had to do and some spots I had to fill in at, but hopefully this Sunday, I will get to relax with all the other interns in a service) Then the week starts over! Pretty busy on my end!!!
Some of the big things that we have been doing is decorating the hallway for the Jonah Series ( Jonah Book in the Bible) Its been so much fun, Ive even have to dress up as a sailor, (I will take a picture on Sunday and post it on here for all you guys to see!) Here are some pics so you guys can see what we have done, in our Hope Kids Wing:
Hallway: Took us about 4 hours to put the streamers up!
Its been a really adventure and God has really been working with me, and helping me grow into a leader and to the person he wants me to be, its been a challenge, but I love being with the interns and being here, I really cant see myself any where else.
Well another simple little update! The house is almost COMPLETE!!! WHOO!! ( Grandma didnt think it would be done till the first of the year) All three of the bedrooms are done and painted, (our house parents, Destiny and mine, and Andrea and Kenzi) Both of the bathrooms are done and painted! The Kitchen is painted, but needs some touch ups, we have a sink and a wall behind the sink, The living room has furniture and the TV is set up but we are going to start painting the walls and paint the fire place, And the garage still has some boxes in it but it needs to be entirely set up with furniture for the "Hang out room" and the outside needs to be painted ( but some professionals will be doing that) but other than all that the House is DONE!!! Pictures are to come soon, when I get a chance to take a picture!
So you guys have a chance to see who Im rooming with and the Girl interns here are some pictures we have and more will be followed when we take a group picture and do more stuff together.
Starting with me, Andrea in the middle, And then Kenzi (No destiny) :(
Beau and Cierra (House parents) and Kenzi, Andrea and myself decided to go to Red Robins to get Food and Milkshakes, Destiny was at her parents so I will have pictures uploading of Destiny and I so you can see who my room mate is: it will have to be the next blog, since the pictures are not sending from my phone and I don't have my cord to send grab it off my phone and on to my computer.
Another little update, we have changed the place of our mission, We are no longer going to Puebla, Mexico, instead we are going to Romania. I'm so excited, as I have never been out of the country, or anything so it will be a whole new adventure! :) Also, we got the Microsoft contracts, we have a lady coming to interview us next week, she will decided either all of us going or only a few of us! Pray that she will hire all of us, as all of us need the help with our finances, we make a 1,000 dollars for each conference that we do, we will be doing 3, which means half of our internship will be paid for, meaning that our monthly payment just went from 450 a month to 250 a month. It will be really nice, so keep all of us in your prayers, I will update about that after we have the interview.
Well, I think that is about it, We have University Group in about 20 mins, so I have a couple things to finish off and then off to University Group and FINALLY BED!!! ( My favorite time of the day!! Bed time!!)
Love you all and thank you for looking at my blog
Blessings
Kayla (The Intern)
